Just 250 metres from Taormina cathedral, La Malandrina - Apartments & Suites is a 15-minute walk from the Greek Amphitheatre. It offers self-catering accommodation featuring free WiFi.

Air-conditioned apartments will provide you with a flat-screen TV, a seating area and an equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher and a refrigerator. The private bathroom includes a hairdryer and free toiletries.

We had room 4; one of the suites with a stunning balcony. We had a view of the town below and the hillside above. The room was flooded with light with windows on three sides that afforded us a gorgeous view down the coastline and of Mt Aetna. The room’s amenities were first class and the bed and linens plush. If you wanted breakfast a great choice would be to simply walk to the Hotel Continental next door. There is a short walk downhill to the Catania Gate and to all the stores and eating venues there. This was by far the classiest place we have stayed in all of Italy.

Offering a shared terrace and classically furnished air-conditioned rooms, B&B Martina is a 10-minute walk from the historical centre of Taormina. Restaurants are in the bed and breakfast surroundings.

We loved everything!!! Martina is an amazing woman. She gives her heart and soul to this fabulous B&B. Location is perfect! Just outside the busy centre, perched on top of a hill overlooking the sea and Taormina. Wow!!!! What a setting for breakfast!!! Let's talk about Martina's breakfast. OMG!! I was in heaven. First, breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and she did not disappoint. Fresh, FRESH and delicious.... eggs (cooked perfectly) tomatoes/basil/ cheese, fruit, ham, homemade jams, fresh bread....I can go on, and I will. She made this fresh cake every morning!!!! Her own recipe. Exactly how I love it and she made it with heart. ❤ I was so happy and I think I told her many times. What a start to the day! Parking was simple and easy. Martina will provide you with any information you need. Rooms are spotless, and I mean spotless!!! Those rooms are thoroughly cleaned after each guest leaves. Beds and linens are super comfortable. This wonderful B&B gets perfect marks! Thank you Martina for a wonderful stay. We hope to come back one day....🙏🙏

Featuring a terrace with panoramic sea views, Maison Blanche Taormina offers rooms with air conditioning and heating. The bed and breakfast also has a guest lounge with elegant decor. Free WiFi access is available in all areas.

The view from our balcony faced East and we had a spectacular view of the sunrise. The breakfast was great. Each day there were pastries and fresh fruit. The on-site parking was a bonus. There were lots of outside seating areas as well as our own balcony. Wine and beer were available at great prices from our hosts. The location was about half way between the town of Taormina (up) and the beach (down). Our hosts were very helpful in providing restaurant suggestions and booked a tour of Mt. Etna for us.

Located on a raised position overlooking Taormina, Villa Sara features air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi and a sea-view balcony. Taormina centre is a 15-minute walk away.

Your room at Villa Sara also features a fridge and private bathroom. Every morning you can enjoy a sweet and savoury breakfast, including croissants, eggs and cheese.

Staying in the beautiful Villa Sara was an exceptional experience, the best of all our overnights in Sicily. Our host Domenico went out of his way to help us both before our trip and while we were there, with suggestions for walking trips and the best way to get to the town centre. The room and bathroom were both large and spotlessly clean, and the best part was the huge terrace/balcony overlooking Mount Etna and the sea. Domenico helped us to arrange a delivery pizza in the evenings so that we could eat there, enjoying a bottle of wine and the view. The breakfasts every day were delicious with plenty of variety, and we especially enjoyed the scrambled eggs. A bonus was having his private garage for our car so that we did not have to leave it on the street.

    Gorgeous little boutique hotel in an old renovated villa, with very comfortable, luxurious rooms and modern bathrooms. Rooms are decorated with lovely, individual touches, and there are good quality toiletries provided. The bed was very comfortable, with big, soft pillows. Breakfast was served upstairs with a view over the town and towards Mount Etna, with everything freshly prepared. What really made it such a perfect stay through was the friendliness of the staff, who were wonderful and friendly throughout.
